x86/efi: Defer efi_esrt_init until after memblock_x86_fill
Commit 7b02d53e7852 ("efi: Allow drivers to reserve boot services forever")
introduced a new efi_mem_reserve to reserve the boot services memory
regions forever. This reservation involves allocating a new EFI memory
range descriptor. However, allocation can only succeed if there is memory
available for the allocation. Otherwise, error such as the following may
occur:
esrt: Reserving ESRT space from 0x000000003dd6a000 to 0x000000003dd6a010.

An inspection of the memblock configuration reveals that there is no memory
available for the allocation:
MEMBLOCK configuration:
memory size = 0x0 reserved size = 0x4f339c0
memory.cnt = 0x1
memory[0x0] [0x00000000000000-0xffffffffffffffff], 0x0 bytes on node 0\

This situation can be avoided if we call efi_esrt_init after memblock has
memory regions for the allocation.
Also, the EFI ESRT driver makes use of early_memremap'pings. Therfore, we
do not want to defer efi_esrt_init for too long. We must call such function
while calls to early_memremap are still valid.
A good place to meet the two aforementioned conditions is right after
memblock_x86_fill, grouped with other EFI-related functions.
